orphaned psql's

[CSN]

Every now and then my connection to my remote server
will disconnect. If I was using the psql commandline,
"ps" will show it's still running (after I log back
on). Is there a way to get access to the running psql
process again, or cause it to disconnect and close? I
tried "kill" but it didn't do anything.

TIA,
CSN

If I understand it correctly, you use ssh/telnet/whatever to login to your remote server, Then you run psql on the server?

If you have a bad connection to your server, then you could consider using "screen" which will allow you to reattach (screen -R) to the running frontend on your next login.

you should be able to suspend it then fg it I'd think.

Do you have a firewall between the machine running psql and the machine
running the server? Some firewalls have a short timeout for inactive
tcp-sessions.
